Email Scam: Payment to billing@godaddy.com

Pin It
Email Scam Alert!!!

A smartly constructed email message scam is on the loose.  I just received an email from the email notification@paypal-us.intl.com containing the following email message.

This email confirms that you have sent a payment for $12.05 USD to
billing@godaddy.com.

Details
Amount: $12.05 USD
Transaction ID: 4S502977FP5288W

A review of the transaction raised a suspicion that it may have not been authorized.

I ALMOST CLICKED the "Click here" link. And lucky, I remembered, I didn't have any website hosted on GoDaddy. What would I cancel? I didn't pay anything to GoDaddy. Then I read the email again from top to bottom. And the email is from notification@paypal-us.intl.com. It's from paypal-us.intl.com. It's not PayPal.

This email is a scam! Do not click and give your information on that link. Do not enter your PayPal username and password too. It can be a phising site where in the user would be asked to login. But the real thing is, the site would just get your information.
